Hey Mark,It was reported at the club meeting that some preliminary work was performed. You have a great Idea for us to start posting news articles that document the progress. I will see if Chris can do this or if I can find a key to get in and snap a few photos.Regards,BP

Well I was able to make it by the track the last two evenings and snap some pictures. It’s actually happening so no turning back now!Yesterday after referencing all elevations and corner radius’ they pulverized the existing asphalt & base on the new section of track. Then today mixed in the stabilizer and were grading so they could begin to compact.Coming up next will be the same thing for the old track, blending in the two sections and new curbs by, maybe, Monday.I have additional pictures….if you want ‘em just email me.BTW..walking the track felt a little bit weird today, almost like I should have paid more attention to every little bump, crack & teeth chattering ripple. I can only imagine how some of you long time track rats feel.Hopefully the new track will have as much character and secrets that will take many, many laps to reveal...BP

Mike Engstrom,You should be excited the track looks like your kind gig right now, all that dirt thing happening. I spoke to the contractor today, actually the rain will help with the needed moisture for good compaction. Of course should get continued rain this may not help. Seem tro be on schedule right now. I hope to have more updates as the days progress on when the curbing work will start.

Yeah really, looks like they are getting with the program. Wouldn't mind playin with the motor grader a bit, not sure if I could still cut grade or not after all these years. I'm very excited to get back to the track, it should be awesome!

Gene & I went up to visit the track today. They are really moving along fast & making good progress. They were in the process of breaking up/pulverizing the "old" section of track. They said they would be doing some curb work soon. Depending on the weather & how much rain we have they hope to be laying down the asphalt at the end of next week or beginning of the following week if everything keeps going according to schedule & the weather cooperates. I took several photos. I just got home from the board meeting & will post the photos in the morning.

Well today there was some curbing poured. I haven't been able to see it yet. I will be at the track Sat to look. Also I will be up tearing out the old pit runner in the center of the track. Should anybody want to help come on. I also think we will be picking rock just to help with the landscape and cleanup. The rain has backed the schedule up a little, but curbing should be completed mid next week and paving I assume will be begin the following week. Shoulder up the edges and fine grade the rest of the week and maybe we will be ready.
